Tonight, I rest

I'm not as sore today as I was yesterday, but I am so happy to have a night to just relax. My first two practices were physically and emotionally exhausting. I'm not complaining - it's a GREAT type of exhaustion, caused by hard work and excitement and joy. But I'm pooped.

I got a note from my trainer Britt, whom I will adore forever for her support and encouragement, who told me to get ready for a squat-terrific workout for the next month. I asked for it, and I know I'm going to get it.

It's so great to have something to build toward. Every damn squat is going to make me a stronger skater.

And get your tickets for the bout! It's going to be amazing. And you might get to see me skate a little bit.
